Ygin
| Ygin The Unknown, Madness, Fear, Night | ❧ Played by Nishi | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Appearance: It is impossible to get a clear picture of Ygin all at once. It has feminine hands, but a clenched, lantern jaw. You might see the line of a cloak, hunched and stooped, but you might also see flowing, black hair. It has a long, lizagon-like tail, and the presence of it is most often the only consistent sign it is openly in the area. The voice is a low, genderless whisper, directly in the person’s right or left ear, inaudible to anyone else. You might sometimes hear feathers, or the rasp of scales, gurgles or scrapes. The smell is dry and papery, or wet and fetid. Whenever Ygin is around, people will feel a tight feeling between their shoulder blades, as if something is watching them. Characteristics: Childlike, insatiably curious, sadistic, inquisitive, ponderous, demanding, fickle, irrational and sometimes outright gibberingly insane. Likes: Courage, terror, chimeras, were creatures, shape shifters who lose control by nature, self-awareness, emotional vulnerability, hallucination-prone people, scrying or dreaming powers, phobias, playing mind games Dislikes: Bravado, rhetoric, scholarly learning, order, science, machinery, unflappable people, people without curiosity, obtuse people, bright lights, restrictions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shrine: The shrine presents itself as a dark opening in the wall. It’s large enough to walk into, but you cannot see, hear or sense anything inside. Ritual: Getting its attention can be as simple as putting a hand in the opening, but walking entirely in is guaranteed to get an answer and quite a bit more favor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

[takes a deep breath, reaching up automatically behind his neck to try to catch whatever it is]
I'm just interviewing the gods... I know some of you offer good powers.
Re: Day 61, Evening
In your left ear, something whispers, quietly.]

Re: Day 61, Evening

[The voice changes, slowly, almost mesmerizingly, like a kaleidoscope being turned. It goes from sibilant to hoarse, intense to distant from one phrase to the next.]
Re: Day 61, Evening
[actually starts to relax as he hears the words build up.
It's not a state that should be confused with bravery, just a great deal of familiarity.
Like self doubt and fear are just daily conditions or something]
So you like that sort of person?
Re: Day 61, Evening
interesting
Re: Day 61, Evening
So that's what you want, but what do you give me? I have people to protect, you know? So I'm looking for something good.
Re: Day 61, Evening
a map in the woods
offer weapons to those who can be brave most when terror destroys others
to take the fangs and claws and poison of nature
the unknown
the fear of them
make them yours

Re: Day 61, Evening
Nothing new then.
Okay, I want to be as strong as you can make me. I guarantee I'll face whatever terror that involves, as long as you don't ask me to go out and hurt any innocents.
Re: Day 61, Evening

Re: Day 61, Evening
All from the same creature?
Re: Day 61, Evening
... many is stronger

Re: Day 61, Evening
